    ROA = 30.3030%

    Explanation:

    ROA = operating income / average assets

    were average assets = (beginning assets + ending assets) / 2

    operating income = net income + interest expense

    = 48,000 + 2,000 = 50,000 income generate by assets

    average assets = (160,000 + 170,000) / 2 = 165,000

    ROA = 50,000 / 165,000 = 0.303030 = 30.3030%

    Remember:

    If you are given with the net income value and the list of expenses, look out for interest expenses, because those are generate by the liabilities ofthe company, so to clean up the income we add them to the net income to show the ammount generate by assets
